tastes like home

Sounds of a tap running and a sponge washing dishes.

Lu:

Champorado is just normal rice, but you add chocolate drink in it, with milk. And then… you eat it!

Sounds of a kettle boiling and paper being unwrapped.

Lu:

So the tablea is immersed in boiling water, until it softens.

Sound of metal spoon mixing tablea into hot water.

Lu:

Smells so good!

Sound of gas hob clicking on, and spoon mixing rice and liquid in a saucepan. Sound of rice bubbling.

Lu:

Here, try. I think this is done.

Sound of gas hob being switched off and spoon mixing hot rice.

Lu, with her mouth full:

I made champorado! Mmm. This is really like a childhood or an afternoon snack in the Philippines.

Ella:

What does it taste like?

Lu, thinking:

Umm… home.

Sounds of eating fade out.
